Shane Ray fined $12,154 for unsportsmanlike conduct against Raiders

Broncos linebacker Shane Ray was fined $12,154 for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the Raiders in Week 12, according to the Denver Post’s Nicki Jhabvala.

Raiders offensive lineman Gabe Jackson was also fined $30,387 for conduct with an official and Broncos safety Darian Stewart was fined $24,309 for a hit that knocked Oakland receiver Amari Cooper out of the game with a concussion.

Raiders coach Jack Del Rio admitted this week that Cooper ducking his head put Stewart in an awkward position, but the league still fined the safety.

“I think Amari did duck his head as the guy was approaching,” Del Rio said, according to Raiders Wire. “That makes it a little harder on the defender. That was probably the one piece that I didn’t have access to prior to that comment. The reality is, it’s harder to be a defensive guy when the offensive guy is ducking his head. That makes it a little more complicated.”
